Notes of semi-sweet chocolate, brown sugar, spiced cocoa, toasted nut, and hint of apple.
Hunapu is the indigenous name for Volcan de Agua, not far from Antigua’s main center where we buy nearly half our Guatemalan coffees each year. But this reach has expanded to several of the outlying areas thanks to the intermediary we work with, who also happens to be both a farmer and mill manager (and just about every other coffee related job title!).
Unlike the “estate” coffees we’re used to from Antigua, the Hunapu area is comprised of small scale farmers whose coffee fields are planted on the volcano’s slopes across an altitude range of 1600 to 1900 meters above sea level. Roughly 450 farmers are currently selling their coffee to the mill in Antigua where each lot is assessed for quality, and separated accordingly. This is a micro-region separation from “Ciudad Vieja”, made up mostly of cultivars Bourbon, Caturra, and Catuaí.
